Supreme Court of Rhode Island
New England Property Services Group, LLC v. NGM Insurance Company
February 11, 2025
Summary
The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the Superior Court’s grant of summary judgment for NGM Insurance, holding that there was no evidence of a material miscalculation in the appraisal award, no right to a second appraisal, and that NEPSG’s breach of contract, bad‑faith, unjust‑enrichment, and tortious‑interference claims lacked genuine issues of material fact. The Court reasoned that the appraisal award is an arbitration award subject to narrow statutory grounds for modification, none of which were satisfied.
